Finish-A-Long update Q4 2013

So my quarter 4 To Do list for Leanne's Finish-A-Long included 3 quilts and 4 smaller projects. I thought adding in the smaller projects would get me past the 2/5 I accomplished in the previous quarter and it worked! Plus getting that bit closer to my goal really motivated me to finish at least one of my carryovers. Nothing like a deadline to prompt some action!

Here's how I got on.

Carryovers:

Halloween quilt - done! It was a late finish (completed last Friday!).

A Dog's Life Applique Project - done! I used the first panel and added section 3 from Lynette Anderson's pattern to make a mini quilt for Schnitzel & Boo's mini quilt swap.

Panel number 2 I was going to turn into a lumbar cushion for the sofa but didn't quite get there this time, Still looks like this:

Maybe next quarter!

New Projects:

Penny SamplerQuilt from course with Stitched in Color. I managed to work on it all the way up to Christmas and then other things took priority, so no finish time. This one is going to be a carryover to Q1 2014 for sure. I love this project, a very different way of looking at a sampler!

Christmas Lone Star lap quilt. Well this was intended for my Aunt and Uncle who had a red feature wall in their front room. Just before Christmas they redecorated so I'm not sure this fits anymore. I'm putting it away until later on in the year!

Christmas Table Runner. This one I did finish! I made it for the Modern Irish Quilter's Christmas Swap and it was great fun. Love this fabric range Joy by Kate Spain for Moda.

Finally I wanted a cushion out of my fussy cut squares I received on Amanda's swap at What the Bobbin. I received these lovely 4.5" squares,

and made this cheery cushion for my sofa. Starting a collection of handmade cushions here!

Apologies for the odd lighting. I'm sick with a horrible headcold and not risking venturing out in this winter weather for a daylight photo today! So that's 4/7, an improvement on last year. Now to think about the next list for this quarter! Linking up to
